We need to talk about the president’s 2027 proposed defense budget. It’s...

there’s simply no way for the Pentagon to productively absorb that scale of resources on that timescale. Again, almost a 50% increase on a budget that is already massive in absolute and relative terms. If you think about what that scale of diversion means, you still won’t really quite grasp it, just as I’m not able to fully grasp it.

So who are they going to levy war against?

    Who to wage war against? Oh, there are so many options!

    • Iran: Trump loves breaking agreements. Invading Iran would be a natural step in that direction.
    • Canada: Trump might decide that today’s the day Canada becomes the 51st state.
    • Greenland: Same idea.
    • Mexico: Trump has wanted to fight the cartels for a long time. Maybe he decides to attack them next.
    • Cuba: Trump wants to torture these guys. He can do it first hand with an invasion.
    • Vatican City: Trump may decide that he’s had enough of the Pope, so he kills a bunch of people in Rome and installs an antipope.
